Release Date, Sharks, And Location

Though the show is typically filmed on the same studio lot in Los Angeles where they filmed parts of "The Wizard of Oz," per Buzzfeed, last year, the crew moved production to Las Vegas. Production moved to Las Vegas in order to film the 12th season of the show in a bubble of sorts to comply with COVID-19 guidelines. Shark Mark Cuban told USA Today that filming in a bubble was difficult for his fellow sharks and fledgling entrepreneurs. "We had to quarantine for several days when we got there," Cuban told USA Today. "We couldn't leave our rooms. It was analogous to what the NBA was doing, only stricter. With the NBA, they could walk outside, go fishing. There were little patios we could go out on, but no walking around outside. The entrepreneurs had to quarantine for an extended period in order to be able to present to us. But it was worth it."

Given the recent rise in COVID-19 cases, it's likely that production will take place in Las Vegas once again.
